We pride ourselves on our socialising.
Every Saturday you will find our senior teams dotted around London and further afield enjoying some well-earned refreshment in clubhouses and pubs having just played.
Our home base is The Draft House Westbridge, Battersea.
Throughout a season, we have several parties – Start of Season, Christmas and End of Season.
We also have Race Nights, Quiz Nights and Beer Pong Championships.
But the 'Jewel in the Crown' is undoubtedly our Spring Ball. For the last few years, the black-tie event has been held at the Bank Of England ground, Richmond. It's always a special evening.
Our juniors also have many social activities throughout the season but their annual highlight certainly is the London Wayfarers Olympic Day held at the end of season at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at the official England Hockey grounds.

Talking about FATHER'S DAY
FATHER'S DAY– 17 June 2007
One night a father overheard his son pray:
"Dear God, Make me the kind of man my Daddy is."
Later that night, the Father prayed,
"Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants me to be."
— Unknown
The following tips for soulful fathering are in honor of Father's Day. Pass them along to your favorite dad. (Of course moms can use them, too.)
1. Listen to your heart when you are with your kids. Go with what feels right, not what your dad might have done or what you think fathers are supposed to do. You are the perfect match for your child. You can't make a mistake when you follow your intuitive guidance.
2. Share your hobbies with your kids.
3. Select one day a month or year to spend one-on-one time with each child. Mark the dates in your calendar. Let your child decide what the day's events will be and celebrate together!
4. Listen to your son or daughter. Playing catch is a wonderful time for listening.
5. The old saying "Pick your battles" is an important one to remember. So what does it really matter if your son's clothing looks a little foolish – he's developing his own taste. Staying away from win-lose situations is much better in the long run for your relationship.
6. Don't forget the wonderful habit of note writing. Leave some unexpected words of encouragement in a book, under a pillow, via E-mail. If you travel, begin a postcard tradition. Send your child a postcard from each trip you take.
7. Learn something new with your children.
8. Is there a way you might make some chore a ritual your child looks forward to participating in with you? Maybe you wash the windows every spring and then have an annual water fight.
9. Share your goals with your kids. Let them know how you have achieved a dream and help them come up with an action plan to achieve their own goals.
10. Don't forget the five "Ps" of fathering: Patience, Pure Love, Playfulness, Participation, Persistence.
Remember, no one on their death bed ever said they wished they'd spent more time at the office.
God Is Fathering Us
Even in the absence of earthly fathers, we need to remember the perfect father who is guiding us toward love.
By Donald Miller
In To Own A Dragon: Reflections On Growing Up Without A Father, Donald Miller writes,
"In the absence of a real father, I had a cast of characters that were at times hilarious, pitiful, perfect, kind, and wise." From Cliff Huxtable of "The Cosby Show" to a landlord's hippie son to a patient youth pastor, Donald Miller discovers an array of men to help him understand the meaning of "father." When he meets John MacMurray, his Bible study leader, Miller discovers what it means to be a good dad. In the following excerpt, Miller has moved into the MacMurray house, where he learns how to reconcile "father" with "God."
I used to feel a kind of hopelessness about life. I assumed life was against me, that whatever bad could happen to a person was going to happen to me. It was as though there was a current I was swimming against. But it was studying this passage that changed some of that thinking. God is fathering me. God is fathering us. I know that if God loves me and wants me to succeed as much as John loves his kids and wants them to succeed, then life cannot be hopeless.
But another idea that occurred to me was I needed to change the way I understand spirituality. What I mean is, I needed to allow God to father me. I needed to acknowledge him as Father and submit. Traditional language might use the term repentance here. In part, this meant admitting I wanted autonomy from God, admitting I wanted my own way, and asking Him to change my heart. One of the issues I deal with having grown up without a father is a kind of resentment at the mention of actually needing a dad. I had to admit I needed one. I had to tell God I wanted Him to father me.
One of the most tender and beautiful scenes that would occasionally unfold in the MacMurray house was the calm, quiet peace that would come over one of the children when they were done trying to get their way. Cassy would get up off the floor and walk over to where her dad was and hold out her arms, her face still pouting. Then, John would sit down on the couch and hold her and rock her in his arms. If John had scolded Chris about something and sent him to his room, Chris would come out later and walk over to John while he was sitting on the couch and climb into his arms, burying his head in his neck. Sometimes it was as if the kids were saying they were sorry, not yet old enough to know how to express themselves with words. But at other times, and perhaps more tender times, the kids were still frustrated, still confused about why they couldn't get what they wanted or why they seemed to always be getting into trouble; and the embrace, the coming to John and burying themselves in his arms was more about feeling his love in the confusion, in the difficulty, than it was about having moved past it. It was as if they were asking him if he still loved them, if the discipline meant there was anything lost in their much-needed relationship with their father. There wasn't. Discipline is what a Father does, because He loves.
Here's something else I noticed John do with his kids. Chris and Elle were arguing one time, and John felt like he raised his voice too loud in telling them to knock it off. Not long after that, maybe a few minutes, he went to them and told them he was sorry for yelling. They didn't seem to care, and it wasn't a big deal, but for some reason it stuck in my mind as an interesting thing for a father to do. I asked him about it the last time we talked, and John said he tries to apologize when he messes up as a dad, letting his kids know they are more important to him than his pride. He kind of laughed and admitted he screwed up fairly often. But then he said something I thought was pertinent to those of us who grew up without dads. John said another reason he apologized was because he didn't want his kids to have any negative perceptions about God. He said that the way a kid feels about their dad is sometimes projected onto God, so if he apologized when he messed up as a father, the kids would know that was his mistake, and didn't have anything to do with who God is. Or at least that is what he hoped.
I liked that idea, because it reaffirmed that our fathers aren't God. They can help us understand who God is and how good He is, but they can also do a lot of damage. But God is God regardless, and if we take the Bible as true, it's good to think He is fathering us perfectly.
There is this great text in the Bible that says, essentially, if our earthly fathers know how to love us, just imagine how great God's love is. I take this to mean that even a very good earthly father is no comparison to God. There is a part of me, and I think it is a growing part, that believes if I submit to God, read the Bible and obey His commands, and also talk to Him about stuff going on in my life, in His own way, He is fathering me toward maturity. And there is something profoundly humbling about knowing God. I'm not talking about the trinket God or the genie-in-a-lamp God, I mean the God who invented the tree in my front yard, the beauty of my sweetheart, the taste of a blueberry, the violence of a river at flood. I think there are a lot of religious trends that would have us controlling God, telling us that if we do this and that and another, God jump through our hoops like a monkey. But this other God, this real God, is awesome and strong, all-encompassing and passionate, and for reasons I will never understand, He wants to father us.

A few weeks ago, I was sharing a podium with someone whom I thought I knew. A famous spiritual leader, a "Rabbi", was giving a talk on peaceful coexistence. We stared at each other and kept on looking towards each other and suddenly the wife of Rabbi spoke to me in excitement, "Oh Dr. Shah! You saved my husband's life."
I vividly remember this patient who had a rare condition, Takayashu cardiomyopathy, who ended up with cardiac arrest in my office for 15 long minutes. Code lasted for more than 15 minutes, about 5 min of flat line and he came back. I treated him for necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh eating bacteria. Five years later, the patient and family still remember me and I still remember that miracle, truly a God's gift of life.
I am not unique. Every physician member of our society would have similar stories to share. Such compelling stories get engraved in our patient's mind throughout their life. Such compelling stories define who we are – physicians. Despite the unprecedented challenges physicians face in running their practices, their commitment and dedication to their patients remains strong.
The American College of Hyperbaric Medicine is a professional society dedicated to appropriate utilization, standards of care, education, training, certification, and recognition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a distinct medical specialty.
The ACHM board members are committed in the field of hyperbaric medicine who are volunteering their time so we can continue to address all challenges collectively that we face as a hyperbaric clinicians.
Dr. Jayesh (Jay) Shah

Williamson defense turns over Gattaca, turns in a 2-0 start
Williamson forced eight turnovers, two of which were returned for touchdowns, to roll over Gattaca College, 45-20, Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field.
That's 13 takeaways in two games for the Mechanics' first 2-0 start to a season since 2005.
The Mechanics picked off six passes a week after they had four interceptions to hold off Jersey Coast Academy, 12-10. Cardinal O'Hara grad Jack Gibson had two of those INTs against Gattaca to raise his season total to five. Ed Sykes (Chichester), George Bradley (Chester), David Derby and Gino DiCamillo (Marple Newtown) had one defense likes to play takeaway. pick each.
Williamson also forced two fumbles to bring their season total to three in that department.
That impressive effort on defense enabled the Mechanics to roll to a 39-0 lead at halftime. Much of the damage was done in the first quarter as Williamson put up 26 points in a 5 minute, 26 second span. Sykes' interception set up a 13-yard touchdown run by Andrew Hicks that gave Williamson a 13-0 advantage. King David Bey returned a fumble 47 yards for a touchdown to close out the first-half barrage.
Bradley picked off a Keon Spain pass and returned it 51 yards to account for the other defensive TD.
Hicks paced the running game with 73 yards on 12 carries. Darnell Wideman (Chester/STEM Academy) caught two passes for 101 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown from quarterback Vince DelPercio. INDIANA (PA.) 65, CHEYNEY 16 » It was another rough day for the Wolves against a nationally ranked foe on the road. The No. 6/5 Crimson Hawks (3-0) scored on seven straight possessions to end the first half and take a 48-16 lead into the locker room.
Running back Justice Evans carried the ball 13 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns to pace a balanced offensive attack. Quarterback Lenny Williams completed 10 of 14 passes for 169 yards and two scores.
The Wolves did move the ball, at least through the air. Quarterback Dominick Trautz connected on 20 of 40 passes in Cheyney's new spread offense for 262 yards and two TDs, one to Yves Ferdinand and one to Terrell Branch. However, Indiana held Cheyney to minus-33 yards rushing.
Turnovers, though, were the killer. Indiana turned those four miscues into 24 points. Academy Park grad Eric Doe was in on three tackles and broke up a pass for the Crimson Hawks, while starting guard Collin McCallister (Chichester) was part of an offensive line did not allow a sack and just three tackles for loss.

La Carrière de Suzanne
The second of the 'Six Moral Tales', and more substantial than the first (La Boulangère de Monceau): here the focus is on two young men, Beuzin and Charrière, who take advantage of Catherine Sée's ethereal Suzanne to bum drinks and food off her, but the crunch comes when it's revealed which one she's actually interested in. Although the resources are relatively modest, Rohmer's elegant wordplay and his exquisite attunement to the vagaries of the human psyche are evident even at this early stage in the director's career.

Beautiful Krabi, Thailand
Krabi in southern Thailand is a place that can only be described as paradise. The beautiful sheer cliffs jutting into the beautiful aquamarine sea, are a typical feature of this part of Thailand which is also characterised by pure white sand beaches.
Particularly stunning is Railay which is only accessible by boat. Indeed, the inaccessibility to this delightful part of Thailand makes it all the more attractive – the sweeping West Railay beach is the gateway to an area of outstanding beauty.
Whilst Ao Nang is only a short boat journey away, it is often busy and crowded although it can be great to spend an evening out here. There are water taxis that will take you on the short journey to Ao Nang where you will find a huge selection of bars and restaurants. Indeed, there are some lovely beaches here too but they don't offer the sort of Isolation that Railay has on offer!
When you first step on a long tail boat to take you to West Railay, you feel a sense of relaxation and peace as you marvel at the beautiful surroundings. Indeed, as you glide across the stunning Andaman sea, you are experiencing your first taste of paradise.
There are an amazing array of bungalows to suit all different budgets which are cleverly arranged to provide tranquility and seclusion. Even the budget style accommodation offers little touches of luxury and the higher offerings provide stunning villas with some even having their own little pool, providing the ultimate in relaxation.
The 'village' caters for all your needs with an ATM, supermarket and pharmacy although it can be quite pricey and it is worth checking out East Railay which has a laid back vibe and some bargains! In fact, the vibe here really suits island life and many of the visitors come here to climb those incredible limestone rocks.
Rock climbing can easily be arranged alongside other activities such as snorkelling and diving where you will be rewarded with a spectacular colourful array of fish and corals.
On West Railay beach you will often find sports activities taking place or perhaps you may prefer to enjoy a cocktail whilst marvelling at the magnificent views.
Naturally seafood is delicious and often chargrilled and succulent. The fish is fresh and is the perfect way to end what is sure to be a fantastic day. There are some gorgeous little places to have a meal and it is wonderful to be able to enjoy the succulent food whilst dining 'alfresco'.
The best little secret of this stunning island is the jaw droppingly beautiful Phra Nang Beach. Whilst tourists do come for day trips there are times when it seems deserted which means you have the beautiful warm sea all to yourself!
Enjoy a foot massage or simply feel at peace with the warm white sand underneath you. This is the place to while away the day and read a book and breathe in the tropical atmosphere around you.
The ambience is enhanced by the lack of cars which makes it even harder to leave! And those beautiful, bright stars seem to be so low that you can almost reach out and grab one to put in your pocket as a happy reminder of the wonderful holiday you are sure to have here!

The same thing applies to Citrix Profile Management where the contents of %USERPROFILE% are not really populated onto the execution machine until something "opens" them. Until that happens, the profile management system, with quite a bit of help from NTFS, LIES to say that the files are present.
There's a bet – and a good one – that a bunch of the content of the streaming profile or the user profile, will NEVER be referenced. Win the bet, things are faster.
You can see this happen, real-time if you launch streamed application with HKLM/Software/Citrix/Rade/EnableDebugConsole DWORD, set to 1. Or, for easier vision, browse in Windows explorer to the RADECACHE\GUID_V\Device\C\… directory and watch the files show up as they are "accessed".
Development side
In development, we often need to accurately control when cache fills happen so we can trigger pieces of code that need some exercise, with debuggers at the ready. My most common tool for triggering a cache fill is starting any streamed application using the RadeRun -x switch which causes CMD.exe to get launched inside the sandbox right along side of the streamed application. Then using the elegant tool provided with the operating system "type" to trigger an open to the file. It also triggers a "read", but this comes later so can be ignored when all you really needed was an "open".
IT Admin side
Occasionally, there are admin needs to control WHEN a cache fill occurs.
Good reasons too! Which include:
- Some file doesn't seem to cache fill right and if it's there, the app works, if not there, app fails. I'll pretend that this should NEVER be true, but reality of IT usage says it sometimes does occur.
- Admin wants to pre-populate some massive file, or the entire profile/target, as a admin controlled timing.
There are more than one ways to accomplish. There is a RadeRunSwitch (-e) to force populate of the entire profile as a pre-req activity to launching the application. There are some serious problems with this approach though, the most egregious is that it does effectively an xcopy /s /e rather than a robocopy /mir. You definitely don't want this turned on for production. Problem 2 is that -e is "global" to all profiles and admins want to force fill on a more precise basis.
I have given advice to admins that they should, or can pre-fill under more precise control by writing a streaming pre-launch script or a logon script action for profile manager to force fill some key files. The premise of this guidance is that the admin has a tool in their toolbox to cause an "open" to occur for the needed files. History says that they don't.
I mean they could use "type filename.ext > nul:", but this isn't really clean for a 2GB file because it will really read, display and then bit bucket the entire 2GB. A good head or tail utility would do it, but these too, not too clean.
I went looking for a good "touch" utility. Well, there are a million good touch utilities on the internet. What is needed is a touch utility tailored for application virtualization or really, all aspects of machine virtualization and running systems in a virtual world.
We need a utility that will "open" a file, without actually changing the file or it's time stamps and this goes kinda counter to the traditional idea of a touch utility. SPECIFICALLY, we need a tool that will open the file for "read access" rather than "write" and every touch utility I could find opens for write. Notice that merely opening for write will "change" the file from the perspective of backup systems and also App Streaming. The file would be promoted to the per-user space rather than the application image layer and if this happens, it didn't accomplish what we really needed.
Couldn't find one
Looked and looked, I couldn't find a tool that met these needs, so I sat down on Monday night and wrote one while watching the Dolphins get crushed by New England. Game sucked, so lots of time for writing code.
Here's the download link for rtouch.exe.
The tool supports recursion, wildcards and optionally will open for read-access rather than the traditional write access. Run with -? for full rundown of the usage.

A shop boss has spoken of the moment a stabbed teenager stumbled into his store begging: "Please help me, I've been hurt."
The 19-year-old was captured on CCTV walking into John's Booze Convenience Store in West Bromwich , showing staff his injuries and asking for help.
He had walked into the store on Jowetts Lane at 10.35am on Tuesday after being attacked in nearby Clarke's Lane.
Assistant manager Tejinder Singh was working behind the counter when the young man walked in.
The teenager's movements can be seen on the store's CCTV.
Mr Singh, 28, told the Birmingham Mail: "He walked in and sort of slumped himself over the counter.
"He showed me his hands and said he had been hurt. I could see several cuts on his hands.
"At first I thought he had just hurt his hand, so I told him not to worry and I would fetch some bandages.
"But he then took off his jacket and showed me the injuries to his back.
"He started crying and saying, 'Please help me, I've been hurt'.
"It was then that I noticed the stab wounds at the bottom of his back. I was shocked and there was a lot of blood. It was scary.
"I fetched some clothes to put on his wounds to stop the bleeding and we called for the ambulance.
"He seemed dazed and in shock but the ambulance service told us not to allow him to sleep and to try and keep him awake.
"But he was unconscious by the time the ambulance arrived. This has been very shocking and I have never known anything like this to happen here. This is usually a good area but this type of thing is very worrying."
The store's CCTV footage shows the teenager walking into the store, turning round and taking off his jacket at the counter.
The footage also shows him being taken by paramedics on a stretcher and to the ambulance outside the store.
WATCH: Brownhills stabbing scene
West Midlands Police said the injuries were not life threatening and that officers were called to a flat on the corner of Jowetts Lane and Gordon Avenue, on Tuesday night.
A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of wounding. He has been bailed pending further inquiries.

50+ Employee Engagement Ideas to Put in Your HR Content Calendar This Year
Plan your content calendar to align with measurable goals for employee engagement year round.
Although there's no single definition of employee engagement, engaged employees share common traits. They give their best each day. They are committed to their organization's goals, values, and mission. Most notably, engaged employees are motivated to contribute to organizational success with an enhanced sense of their own well-being because they know how to use the benefits provided to them.
The best way to increase employee engagement is with specially targeted initiatives through communication and messaging strategies that assist in accomplishing your company's unique HR goals. To help you make your messaging more engaging, and turn some unengaged employees into motivated members of your workforce, the Airbo team has come up with a few tips and provided 50+ ideas that you can add to this year's content calendar for better engagement.
Table of contents
Go Beyond Helpful Information with your Messaging Strategy.
To help plan your company's custom HR communication strategy for 2018, we've created an employee engagement content calendar template with interesting, informative and engaging ideas and resources that can be tailored to your company's own unique goals. Use this template to spice up your current communications, motivate employees, and boost morale.
January is the start of a New Year and new opportunities. Structure HR communications with forward looking and optimistic content. Get them excited about where the company is going and how they can be a part of that success.
Recommended Messaging for January
Start the year out with company goals:
Keep employees informed of the organization's goals. Goals need to be aligned with the company mission statement and state how each employee can contribute to these goals. Outline any rewards and bonus opportunities for reaching individual and company goals.
Kick things off right:
Show genuine appreciation for staff in your communications. Note last year's accomplishments and thank employees for a job well done.
Important healthcare plan changes for the year:
The beginning of the year is the perfect time to remind employees of any changes in healthcare benefits. Make sure to highlight important dates when they are required to take action. Healthcare information can be complex, so break messaging up into several smaller messages that are easily read and understood.
Custom company calendar:
Three things that matter to everyone in the workplace: money, family wellbeing, and work/life balance. To help keep everyone informed, create an online calendar to track the following:
- Paydays
- Days off and adjusted schedules
- Community events and volunteer programs
- Important dates such as the W-2 mailing deadline, when individual tax filings are due, open enrollment period for healthcare, fun company events like picnics, and required meetings
Here's a guide to create your own custom calendar with Gmail/G Suite and here's a collection of Calendar templates for Microsoft Office. If you are open to adding more dates, you can create engagement among the workforce by asking employees for suggestions of other dates to be included.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
The third Monday of every January celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Whether your company is in the office or taking the day off, sending out some inspirational quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. and restating your company's commitment to diversity can help motivate and inspire employees.
The year is in full swing now, and that means your communication strategy should be well underway. Are employees responding to your messaging and taking action? Evaluate your current employee engagement strategy and adjust if necessary.
Recommended Messaging for February
Heart Health Month:
February is Heart Health Month. Focusing on long term heart health instead of fad diets and quick wins can lead to long lasting habits. Encourage employee creativity to acknowledge Heart Health Month. Here's a few helpful links to help inform your messaging:
- National "Wear Red" Day for heart health (February 2)
- Heart Health Month
- Heart Health Month Information
- National Cancer Prevention Month
If possible, Offer a Free In-Office Health Class:
Many people set health and fitness goals for the New Year. These goals can be tough to stick to without reminders and support in the workplace. Include new offerings in your messaging such as an in-office health classes designed to educate employees about small changes to improve health. Here's some helpful links to start putting together your strategy:
Valentine's Day:
Valentine's Day falls on February 14th. Encourage employees to celebrate the right way. It's best to avoid any romantic messaging or art. Tie Valentine's Day into your heart healthy messaging by focusing on self-care and healthy lifestyles so no employees feel left out or alienated.
Susan B. Anthony's Birthday:
Susan B. Anthony's birthday falls on February 15th. Provide a simple, uncontroversial history of her life and how she impacted suffrage for women in America. Use this opportunity to reaffirm your company's commitment to diversity, and tie her contributions to the contributions of all genders in the workforce.
Q2 is just around the corner. By this time, you're hopefully making progress on your employee engagement goals. Employees should be taking advantage of their benefits and engaging with the messaging to make improvements to their health and wellness.
Recommended Messaging for March
FSA and HSA Deadlines:
FSAs and HSAs typically have March 15th deadlines to submit eligible medical expenditures. Send out messaging before the deadline to allow employees to prepare necessary forms. This article, 3 FSA Deadline Reminders To Steal and Use Now, provides a helpful process and templates.
Seasonal Affective Disorder:
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression related to changes in seasons. Although it's more likely to occur in the fall and winter months, SAD can cause depression in the spring and early summer too. Send out messaging that offers genuine support and reminders on how their health care plans can be used to access mental health professionals.
Some symptoms to make employees aware of include:
- Having low energy
- Problems with sleeping
- Changes in your appetite or weight
- Difficulty concentrating
Upcoming deadline notice for tax preparation:
Tax season is just around the corner. Brushing up on the basics helps everyone, but providing messaging about tips and resources can especially make those new to the workforce feel included. Here's some helpful links to help get them prepared for tax season:
- Tax Preparation Checklist
- Tips for Tax Preparation
- Review the following forms W-2, W-4, W-9, 1099 and make sure employees understand which form they should be expecting.
Opportunities to have an impact on the community:
It's no secret among HR professionals that community involvement benefits the workplace, but many employees are unaware of this connection. Messaging should provide information on local volunteer opportunities in line with the company's corporate mission statement and make it easy for employees to volunteer. For example, list the times and hours of a local soup kitchen or provide contact information to local organization seeking volunteers.
Spring is Here and Daylight Saving Time Begins:
On March 11th, clocks go forward one hour in most US workplaces. Let employees know when to update their clocks, both in the office and at home, to cut down on accidental tardiness.
Healthy Holiday Tips for St. Patrick's Day:
St. Patrick's Day is a widely celebrated holiday, often centering around drinking alcoholic beverages. Send out safe drinking tips in your communication to avoid absences and promote safety.
Set aside time to reevaluate your communications from the last three months. Consider how you can repackage information with lower engagement rates to pique employee interest.
Recommended Messaging for April
Resend Custom Company Calendar:
In January, we recommended sending out a helpful calendar with important dates for employees. Resending that calendar is a great step to kicking off Q2 the right way.
Pick a theme for the month:
Not only is it tax time, but April is also Autism Awareness Month,Alcohol Awareness Month, and National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Plan some informative, helpful messaging to allow employees, along with their loved ones, to rally around a common cause.
Although Easter is an important day to those who celebrate it, tread lightly with religious messaging among your employees.
Administrative Professionals Day:
Administrative Professionals Day is on April 26th. Administrative professionals play a critical role in any company. Send out messaging that alerts other employees about their contributions and shows appreciation for all the hard work they've put in over the course of the last year.
Bring Your Child to Work Day:
National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is the fourth Thursday in April. If your office is a suitable environment for children, send out messaging that encourages parents to bring their children to work. Include activities the company is planning for that day.
The year is almost halfway over so this is a great time to gather employee feedback to understand the impact of your messaging on employee engagement. Managing these surveys can be tough, but there are plenty of tools (like Airbo) that can help make gathering feedback from employees a whole lot easier.
Recommended Messaging for May
Mental Health and Wellbeing:
May is Mental Health Awareness month. Many employees may not be familiar with the facts or benefits of caring for their mental health. A few ideas to help make employees more aware of of this delicate issue include:
- In office visits from qualified mental health professionals that can provide tips on mental health and well being.
- Sending out comprehensive information such as this workplace mental health information resource.
Celebrate Global Health and Employee Fitness Month:
Global Employee Health and Fitness Month (GEHFM) is an international and national observance of health and fitness in the workplace. The goal of GEHFM is to promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle to employers and their employees through worksite health promotion activities and environments. Read more about it here.
May is American Stroke Awareness Month:
Every 40 seconds someone has a stroke and it can happen to anyone, at any time. Send out helpful information to employees that teaches them how to recognize risk factors and warning signs of strokes. More information is available from American Heart Association's Stroke Awareness Toolkit.
Clean Air Month:
Supported by the American Lung Association, Clean Air Month educates people about the impact clean air can have on their lives. This article from WhatHealth is a great primer.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. Although many associate it with BBQs and backyard parties, Memorial Day can be a tough time for veterans. If appropriate, send out messaging that thanks veterans, both alive and passed, for their contributions to our country.
Dress Code Reminder
If your dress code changes for summer months, take the opportunity this month to make sure those parameters are established and that every member of staff is informed.
Summer is here, a favorite for many employees. Let employees know that you are concerned about them on and off the job. Employees with healthy, balanced lives are engaged so share resources that can help them achieve that.
Recommended Messaging for June
Encourage a happy, healthy and safe summer:
Many employees travel with families at this time of year so provide helpful travel safety tips. Encourage employees to share photos that you can share of them enjoying their vacation. Provide recognition to employees hiking, biking or enjoying other forms of exercise while on vacation.
Summer Hours:
If you observe different summer hours or flexible working arrangements, remind employees about these benefits.
Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month:
Alzheimer's disease is fast becoming one of the greatest medical challenges facing American families today. Provide helpful resources to employee to educate them about the issue.
National Safety Month:
Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing causes of injury and death at work and at home. Make sure to send out both helpful general resources on the issue, as well as specific messaging around safety issues and priorities in your workplace. Center messaging on encouraging all employees to catch and recognize others being safe at work.
Men's Health Month:
Draw attention to benefits your company provides for critical screenings available to men. These simple reminders reduce disease and can save a life.
As you plan your communications for the second half of the year, replicate strategies that have been most effective and tweak the types of communications that need improvement.
Recommended Messaging for July
Resend Company Custom Calendar:
Since it's the beginning of a new quarter, resend the calendar with important dates, highlighting any events quickly approaching. Encourage engagement by asking for important dates that should be included.
Celebrate Independence:
Wish all staff a happy and safe holiday. Focus on the value of independence in every facet of life this independence day.
Remind employees t o volunteer in the community:
Volunteering in the summer is a great way for employees to get outside, so encourage your employees to form a team around volunteer opportunities. Check VolunteerMatch for Summer-specific volunteer opportunities and share with employees.
Help employees plan for retirement:
Never make assumptions about your employees' financial state. Send out information about saving for retirement and remind employees the benefits you offer. Great educational resources can be found here:
- The Department of Labor's Guide on the Top 10 Ways to Prepare for Retirement
- Retirement Tips for All Ages from US News and World Report
Focus on employee motivation as summer winds down. Center messaging around employees reaching goals and encourage the momentum until the end of year.
Recommended Messaging for August
Commend High Performing Employees:
It's time to recognize high performing employees. This could take the form of a culture award, plaque, or even a simple thank you. Here's some helpful resources on rewarding employees without cash:
- 101 Ways to Reward Employees (Without Giving Them Cash)
- Super Effective Ways to Reward Your Employees
- 25 Low-Cost Ways to Reward Employees
Back to School
School is starting up again, and that can mean major adjustments in both schedules and obligations for your workforce. Since back to school season can be overwhelming for some, send out tips for parents with kids returning to school. Ask employees for tips that can be shared with parents experiencing this for the first time.
Dress Code Changes:
If your company dress code is more formal for the fall and winter, give employees notice along with guidelines.
Use September to construct upbeat messaging, with an emphasis on employee physical and mental health. Since winter months are coming and the days will be getting shorter, encourage a happy, healthy workplace.
Recommended Messaging for September
National Fruits and Veggies Month:
September is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month and the USDA has curated tons of helpful content about healthy eating habits that can be shared with employees. If possible, bring in samples of unusual or rare fruits and veggies to sample. Great ones to try are pluots, tangelos, and persimmons.
National Suicide Prevention Month:
Suicide is one of the top 10 causes of death in the United States and September is National Suicide Prevention Month. It's a great opportunity to offer support to employees and create awareness for their families. Although it's a sensitive subject, the right messaging could save someone's life.
National Preparedness Month:
The goal of National Preparedness Month is to increase the overall number of individuals, families, and communities that engage in preparedness actions. If employees aren't properly prepared for emergencies and natural disasters, their lives can be seriously disrupted. Take time to educate your workforce about how to prepare for emergencies and practice for emergencies in the workplace.
Celebrate Labor Day:
Labor Day falls on September 3rd for 2018. Make sure to send out messaging that thanks employees for their hard work and reiterates the company's dedication to your employees' workplace satisfaction.
If Possible, Offer an In-Office Event: Lunchtime Yoga Class
With the season change, outdoor exercise activities can be a challenge. Consider introducing your employees to light yoga during the lunch hour to educate them about ways to maintain fitness and mental well-being with indoor exercises and stretches. Make sure this is an entry level introduction since some employees may be new to yoga or routine physical fitness. If employees cannot join the session, send out messaging with links to yoga stretches or videos to encourage participation at home.
With the end of the year quickly approaching, October is a great month to develop strategies for the next year. Keep in mind your most (and least) effective campaigns of the last nine months.
Recommended Messaging for October
Resend Customer Company Calendar:
Since it's easy to lose track of upcoming important dates at the end of the year, it's time to send out that helpful calendar as a reminder one last time.
Cold and Flu Season Awareness:
A bad flu bug can sideline an entire office. Messaging should include education around flu prevention and awareness and proactive steps employees can take to prevent getting the flu. Here are some helpful resources that you can use to help inform your employees:
- How to Protect Yourself from Cold and Flu in the New Year
- Stopping the Spread of Germs at Home, Work and School
- CDC Says "Take 3" Actions to Fight the Flu
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Next to skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Messaging should include the healthcare benefits the company provides for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and educating employees about the following:
- A broad overview of cancer
- Breast cancer facts
- Risk factors for breast cancer
- Male breast cancer
Cyber Security Month
The Department of Homeland Security has issued October to be Cyber Security Month. Any employee that has access to a company email address or network is a potential target. Engage your IT department in messaging and brush up with these helpful and easy to understand guides:
- 5 Things You Need To Teach Your Staff About Cyber Security
- How to make your employees care about cybersecurity: 10 tips
- Top 10 Tips For Educating Employees About Cybersecurity
Healthcare Reminders about Open Enrollment
Healthcare is one of the most important benefits offered to employees so make sure your employees fully understand the open enrollment process. Even before open enrollment starts, outline insurance terminology, the purpose of open enrollment and specific details about the health care plans being offered. This guide provides an easy to understand breakdown of the open enrollment period for employees that you can use to inform your messaging. Engage employees by asking them to submit questions to prepare a FAQ.
Halloween Costume Contest
Halloween is a fun and light-hearted time of year. If employees dress up, consider hosting a costume contest to inject some workplace fun. Be sure to provide employees guidance on appropriate costume selection.
November is a good time to reflect on communications strategies from the past year. What was your most effective communication strategy and how can you adapt that strategy to improve future messaging?
Recommended Messaging for November
Holiday Hours and Schedules:
As this time of year typically adds stress to employees, inform them of adjusted holiday hours well in advance.
No Shave November:
Movember, also called No Shave November, involves growing facial hair to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide. Messaging should focus on education. Include a facial hair contest with various categories to encourage engagement and employee participation.
Diabetes Month Awareness:
Both Type I and Type II diabetes are on the rise in America. Help spread awareness in the workplace about Type I and Type II diabetes by educating employees on recognizing symptoms in themselves or family members.
Continue Messaging on Open Enrollment:
Continue to message employees about the benefits of the company healthcare plans, upcoming deadlines and provide resources for answering any questions employees may have.
Thanksgiving Celebration:
Thanksgiving is a great time to show appreciation to employees. Encourage executives to send out messaging to employees with a special thank you for their hard work and contributions. Planning a company potluck, where employees bring in their favorite Thanksgiving dishes, is a great way to engage employees. If you have a few serious chefs in the office, a company cooking contest, where employees judge the entries, is another fun way to celebrate the holiday.
Veteran's Day:
Every November 11th, the United States honors its military veterans. Make sure not to confuse this holiday, which celebrates all service members, with Memorial Day, which specifically honors who died while in military service. Consider messaging on issues facing veterans in the workplace.
Great American Smokeout:
The Great American Smokeout recognizes the important step one can take to create a healthier life by eliminating tobacco. This observation takes place on the third Thursday of November. Encourage employees that use tobacco to take this opportunity to quit or encourage them to not smoke that day.
December tends to fly by quickly and with many employees out of the office, plan messaging accordingly. Use this month to reflect on the year and encourage togetherness and community.
Recommended Messaging for December
Accomplishments for the year:
A lot can happen in a year. Unless employees take time to reflect on everything they've done, they may not recognize their own contributions to the company. If appropriate, detail how the company performed in terms of hitting its growth and financial goals. Also communicate sincere appreciation for everyone's hard work.
Send out a holiday calendar:
Many companies adjust their hours for the holidays. Send an up to date calendar clearly stating the adjusted hours and days off.
Holiday Party:
Company holiday parties can be a lot of fun. If your company organizes a holiday party, send out reminders about company policy, conduct codes, and responsible drinking.
Ongoing Messaging
In addition to these monthly messages, make sure to send out event reminders, new employee introductions and provide important company information on an ongoing basis.
Welcome new hires with personalized messaging:
The first few days on the job set the tone for an employee's career. Welcome new staff with personalized emails, introducing them to the company.
Business strategy communication from Management
Employees don't want to be in the dark. Examples of pertinent information includes monthly goals, training opportunities, relevant market research and links to news articles featuring the company or its employees.
Lunch and Learns:
If your company doesn't already have a lunch and learn program, consider putting one together built around your company's employee engagement goals. This article provides some great tips on starting a lunch and learn program.
Now It's Your Turn
It's easy to assume employees know the benefits offered to them. However, when you continuously inform your workforce about company offerings and overlooked benefits while providing interesting information in an easily digestible format, your employees will look forward to communications from HR. Remember, when planning out your own content calendar, don't be afraid to experiment. This guide was designed to supplement your messaging ideas to create employee engagement.
A struggle many HR departments have is knowing if their messaging strategy is on target for creating engaged employees.

A Tasmanian ICT Sector strategic plan was developed to ensure that the Tasmanian ICT industry – with the guidance of TASICT – could capitalise on the opportunities available to it and continue to grow whilst being mindful of potential threats.
As Tasmanian ICT firms enter a period of maturity with increased acceptance and adoption of technologies both in business and socially, the development and implementation of a coherent industry wide strategy is of critical importance to inform strategic choices for growth and development.
We have many successful ICT businesses in Tasmania who are recognised globally as being at the forefront in using technology to provide real world business solutions. Predominantly their focus has been on niche markets and opportunities.
For our industry to be competitive and prosper, we need to capitalise on this existing expertise and encourage further focus and development of smart enabled technologies targeted to global markets.
In 2012, TASICT engaged In-tellinc to produce a strategic plan for the industry. In-tellinc worked with the TASICT board and the broader industry through discussions and a number of surveys, to bring the strategic plan together.
The Plan was formally launched at the 2013 TASICT Industry Awards in front of then Premier Lara Giddings, Minister David O'Byrne and Shadow Minister Michael Ferguson (now Minister for Innovation and Technology).
Tasmanian ICT Sector Strategic Plan
TasICT, in consultation with its membership, has been developing a range of policy positions on behalf of the Tasmanian ICT sector.

LUCEM – English Music
Leeds University Centre for English Music
The LUCEM 'brand' provides a focus for staff and student research as part of the broader clusters that make up the School's research activities (particularly Music as Culture and Making Music), offering a distinctive identity to support conferences and study days, concert events, masterclasses, and a variety of published outputs. This local centre reflects the School's specialisms in all aspects of English music and English musical life (concerts, broadcasting, criticism, reception, institutions, music-making) from mediaeval times until the present day. It also supports research students in the postgraduate community; recent and current theses include studies of the piano music of William Sterndale Bennett, the music criticism of Herbert Thompson, Leon Goossens and British oboe music, Arthur Sullivan and the Leeds Festival, Henry Wood and the promotion of orchestral Bach, music in Yorkshire in the long eighteenth century, the life and music of William Shield and scordatura tunings in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English violin music.
Staff publications have included: books on Elgar, Parry, Purcell, British music and literature in the long nineteenth century, Granville Bantock's correspondence, songs of the Victorian drawing room and parlour, and the viola da gamba; book chapters on progressive musical repertoire in nineteenth-century Britain, musical settings of Tennyson, Josef Holbrooke, the Britpop sound, Martin Peerson's motets, Elgar's Caractacus, Purcell, music clubs in seventeenth-century Britain, and the Victorian soirée; journal articles on the music of Bantock, Bax, Elgar, Parry, Stanford, Purcell and Jeremiah Clarke, the music criticism of Aldous Huxley, and musical imagery in the writings of Aleister Crowley; and editions of Draghi, Elgar, Parry, Peerson and Vaughan Williams. A representative listing of recent activities is given below. Exciting forthcoming LUCEM-related projects include a monograph on British Music for St. Cecilia from Purcell to Handel, book chapters on Restoration Opera and William Wallace's Villon, articles on the literary representation of Peter Warlock and Parry's Elegy for Brahms, editions of Elgar's songs with orchestra and the Peerson Project. Recent conferences include: RMA/Musica Britannica Critical Editing Study Day (4 October 2014); Amateur Music-Making in the British Provinces (18 June 2014); and 'Intimate relations: Musical Refiguring of Poetry from the Victorian Age', a concert event as part of the August 2015 British Association of Victorian Studies conference, which included recitation music by Stanley Hawley, songs by Parry, Stanford, Quilter, Elgar and Bantock, and some of Bantock's piano works. Future events include a performance of the music of Edward Loder, and a talk on Granville Bantock's letters to William Wallace at the National Library of Scotland.

What is it when the tree withers and the leaves fall? Complete exposure of the golden wind.
To a Buddhist, this thousand-year-old Zen koan speaks volumes about the passing of seasons, the fleeting nature of life itself, natural beauty, and much more. A modern-day investor's lesson is much simpler: The withering wind of market panic exposes new opportunities.
Wax on, wax off, young grasshopper
Don't worry, I'm not about to go all mystic on you. The simple truth is that panic rarely accomplishes anything good.
For example, let's pretend that you caught wind of multiple sclerosis wonder-drug Tysabri early on and invested in Elan
Then a couple of patients caught a rare but fatal brain disease. Tysabri was temporarily taken off the market, and Elan's stock collapsed. Selling out in a panic-stricken daze would have locked in a loss of 80%-90%. Tysabri partner Biogen Idec
Or, you could stand back and take a calm look at the situation. A handful of serious side effects among more than 2,000 patients was a roadblock, but not a death sentence. This would have been a great time to double down on Elan; in fact, it's where I bought my own shares. I sold a little bit of that stake in May 2008, locking in a four-bagger return only because Elan's stock had started to take over my portfolio.
We're not done yet
And now Elan is back down again on general recession fears, plus another couple of PML cases. No use rushing into a decision, though. There was an eight-month window of awesome opportunity last time around, and I don't expect any massive rebound in the next few days or weeks.
Patience. What is the sound of one stock falling? Sometimes it's the sweet melody of great future returns.
I could tell you similar stories about robotic surgery pioneer Intuitive Surgical
Further Foolishness:
Elan, Google, and Intuitive Surgical are Rule Breakers picks. Biogen Idec and Marvel are Stock Advisor recommendations. Try any of our Foolish newsletter services free for 30 days.
Fool contributor Anders Bylund owns shares in Elan, Marvel, Intuitive Surgical, and Google, but he holds no position in (um, what's left?) Biogen. You can check out Anders' holdings or a concise bio if you like. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy is the sound of one hand clapping.

Stand facing the pole. Bend over and place your hands on the floor and your upper back onto the pole. Walk your hands away from the pole until you are on your tip toes. Push with your feet and arms and use this momentum to bring your legs up, out to the side and then together above your head.
Deadlift Handstand (into Pole): Pole Dance Tutorial
About Holly Munson
Holly started pole dancing after admiring the grace, skill and elegance of pole performances and immediately falling in love with the style. After half a decade of bruises, struggling and then the satisfaction of success, her own pole school Firefly Poles was born. The vision is to share that same passion with others.
Holly wished that there was more Pole Dancing help available when I was learning, so now she aims to provide that help through writing, blogging and teaching here on PoleFreaks.
Holly is also a Level 3 Personal Trainer and an ambassador for Dragonfly pole wear, and also writes regularly for the Dragonfly blog .

For example if you have several terabytes of cheap storage, but a nice U360 RAID-0 as a cache area. Of course the move will end up being a byte by byte copy anyway, since you can't just re-link the inode accross filesystems, but still. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: email@example.com
